I have noticed the usage of `gkbrです` in sentences not related to the
[G](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%B4%E3%82%AD%E3%83%96%E3%83%AA)
insect:

> 田中さんに掘り返されたことでgkbrです。
>
> 恐怖でgkbrですが続きテツヤ待機。

Does it mean "I am afraid and want to crawl under the furniture"?

Meaning of "gkbrです"


According to the [ja.wikipedia page on
GKBR](http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/GKBR), it can be ゴキブリ as well as:

> ｶﾞｸｶﾞｸﾌﾞﾙﾌﾞﾙ - 恐怖で震えるさまを表す擬態語。

So it'd be "GaKu BuRu," onomatopoeia that represents fearful trembling.

It's some 2ch slang, of course.
